For me this is the best Nupen's film about Jackie. It has "Who was Jacqueline du Pré?", "Interlude with Johannes Brahms" a previously unpublished interview and "Remembering Jacqueline du Pré". It's more than 3 hours of music and words of people who knew her best to enjoy and remember the best cello player of all times.
"Heart-Stopping arcchive footage" The Times

This DVD is a good document gathering several materials related to the great artist Jacqueline Du Pré. It succeeds on transmitting what this remarcable cellist and great person meant to everybody on her time, and how she should be followed today as a reference on how to face life and its tragedies with joy, despite the enormous difficulties one can suffer... On the second chapter, we can see how an affected Jacqueline could give a fresh, honest answer to a very harsh (very english) questionaire with remarcable dignity... The last chapter should not be included, in my opinion... it has almost no relation to the topic..

Jacqueline Du Pre was one of the most outstanding cellist of our time. This DVD is a tribute to her artistry.
